Mullar did the same to tagliafico. whats your point?

I love how he actually look like he want to find some excuse after that challenge. I mean, seriously? Thats like one of the most obvious red I seen in a long while.

What was he thinking? I mean, how is that even a football-related move?

I did like that he went to check on the player though.

still complains about the red. that's fucked up

That one was brutal...

Ronaldo did another (softer one) in the goalie' face, got away with nothing and scored 2 more goals...

Well...

@tuan How Ronaldo didn't get a red card for that tackle is mystery for me, not even with VAR, sure it's Ronaldo but that doesn't mean he should get extra protection

00:26

LMAO I don't know how he thought he could argue about the red.

Ronaldo challenge wasn't a certain red but I can understand why people think so

They consulted VAR

Seriously😳🤣🤣🤣

Actually, there been a similar challenge from Rangers yesterday that resulted in a red card. Its an even worse challenge in my mind. :U

Yh the rangers challenge was worse. It deserves a double red card for how stupidly dangerous it is

Everybody's kungfu fighting.......... It's like a trend now, see who else can put their boots to the face. smh
